The present invention deals with novel and serviceable means for conveniently forming hair page rolls and the object of the invention is realized in the provision of a functionally and structurally improved hair dressing instrumentality adapted to crimp a portion of the hair for setting off a part of the head of hair to be left untreated and the tress part of the hair which is to be formed into a page roll. The invention has as a further object the provision of an arcu ate hair dressing and crimping means provided with a plurality of spatially arranged clips adapted to removably sustain hair curling means about which a plurality of sectional tresses of hair is wound. Other structural and functional objects, features, and advantages of the invention will appear from the teachings of the following detailed description considered in connection with the accompanying illustrations wherein: I

Fig. 10 is a perspective view showing a page boy roll made in accordance with the present invention and Fig. 11 is a perspective view of another but outside hair roll also made with the present invention.

The hair dressing and crimping roll holding device is generally designated Ill and embedies an arcuate flexible comb or backing H having web l2 provided with depending teeth l3. Fixedly attached to the front face of web I2 is a plurality of spaced resilient clips M. More particularly however each clip includes a forwardly disposed bifurcated portion I5 fastened in any well known manner to the web of the comb.

Each clip also includes the curved rearwardly projecting body portion l6 provided with an outwardly extending lip H. Each resilient and. flexible clip may be of a suitable material, such as of Celluloid, cellulose acetate, bone or metal,

etc.

During the process of forming a page'roll with the arrangement according to the invention, the comb if desired may be initially utilized to dress or comb the free ends of the hair constituting the tress. Thereafter elastic loop I8 is placed against the forehead of the user. The comb or U-shaped band is then set against or into the hair to divide the tress of the hair which is to be rolled from that portion of the hair which is not to be rolled.

Subsequently suitable curling means such as a cylinder 19 (Fig. 2) or the conventional hair curling means in the form of the pivotally associated hair clamping components 20 and 2| (Fig. 8) may be utilized to roll the several sectional tresses 23 of hair hanging below the comb. Of course other hair curling means may be employed. For example, the well known rat tail comb or bifurcated rat tail comb may be also employed. The invention is not restricted to any specific type of hair curling means.

In the form illustrated in Fig. 2, the perforated cylinder I9 serves as means about which a sectional tress 23 is wound up or coiled to form a sectional roll 24. After a tress is wound to form a roll, it is within close proximity to one of the resilient clips l4.

Thereafter the roll is further wound up until it abuts an associated lip I! causing the latter to be slightly displaced outwardly to permit the sectional roll 24 to snap by and enter the longitudinal opening 25 of the clip and be resiliently embraced by the body thereof, that is, once the roll is free of lip I! the body of the clip'automatically retracts to engage the roll.

Even though the sectional roll is located within a clip, it can be further wound up to provide appreciable although not harmful tensioning of the hair which is adjacent the web of the comb, and such tensioning of the hair against the web defines a crimped or grooved portion 26. In

other words, a certain crimped or grooved portion of hair is formed dividing the unrolled hair from the rolled hair. By reason of this crimped portion, the unrolled hair follows the contour of the head while the rolled portion is set off from the head as desired. With the curler l9 snapped into position within a clamp or clip M as described the roll formed is reinforced by the curler as it is held clamped by the clip.

According to the present method of forming a page roll, it is apparent, that the hair hanging below the comb is divided into several sectional tresses 23, and each sectional tress is appropriately rolled and snapped into position within an alined clip. Preparatory to rolling the tress, it

is generally moistened. After the several sectional tresses have been rolled they are left within the clips to be dried. Following the drying action, the curlers I9 may beremoved from the sectional rolls 24 and the latter slipped laterally of their respective clips.

; Thereafter the elastic loop is removed from the forehead and the comb removed from the head of hair. With the comb free of the hair, the sectional rolls are spread out to permit the adjacent sides of the several rolls to merge or flow into one another thus forming a continuous roll, or the well known page boy or inside roll 30 of the type shown in Fig. 10 and carried out by the method described in connection with Figs. 1-3

inclusive.

Of course where the curler I9 is rolled to wind a sectional tress counterclockwise (Fig. 3) the roll formed, is known as an inside roll. Thus although the hair crimping and holding device may be conveniently utilized in the matter of forming a page boy roll it is capable of forming other types of rolls for example, the outside roll 31 (Fig. 11).

, As another aspect, the hair dressing, crimping and holding device according to the invention may be also utilized to form a page boy roll even though the comb or hair dressing member thereof is inserted inversely into the hair with the teeth thereof pointing upwardly as indicated in Figs. 5

sectional tresses 23 after having been wound up to form the grooved portions 26 and of course these sectional tresses may be wound up with :the aid of curlers l9 after which they are clamped by the resilient and flexible clips M.

It is apparent that with the hair dressing and holding device according to the invention, either an inside or an outside roll may be formed depending upon the direction of rotation applied to the curler means, and the rolls formed of course may be tightened within respective clips against web of the comb to form the desired crimped portions.

In the case according to the form illustrated in Figs. 7 to 9, the process herein described may be carried out with theaid of a single conventional curler including the pivoted clamping components 20 and 2|, that is, the latter initially grip the free ends of a sectional tress adapted to be coiled about the components to form a sectional roll 24 and after having been snapped into its companion clip, they may be tightened to provide the crimped portions 26 adjacent the roots of the teeth of the comb against the web of the latter. Thereafter, the curler is removed from the roll formed and subse uentlyemployed 75 wardly of said Web.

to roll another sectional tress of hair. The direction of rotation of the components determines the type of roll formed namely an inside or outside roll, either of which may be readily formed.

In the case according to the method described in connection with the showing of Figs. 7 to 9 inclusive, the several rolls are not reinforced by the curling means during their drying operation in the several clamping clips. If desired the curling means [9 of Fig. 2 may likewise be removed from the sectional rolls during drying of the latter. This is a matter of choice. If such curling means l9 be removed it may be subsequently utilized to roll the other sectional tresses. Of course, it is also within the scope of the herein method to leave the curler defined by components 20 and 2| in the roll during drying and other conventional curlers be utilized to form theremaining sectional rolls.

While the invention has been described in detail and reference has been made to a specific application thereof, it is to be understood that the invention herein disclosed is not limited to such specific applications and it is intended that all matter contained in the above description or shown in the accompanying drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative an'd not in a limiting sense, for example, the expression clamping as found in the specification and claims can also signify the holding or sustaining action of a reflexed clip IE to prevent unravelling or unwinding of a sectional roll either associated with or without a curling instrumentality I9 or the components 20 and 2|.
